THIS WEEK'S FALLEN MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS
Thankfully, on this Never Forgotten Friday leading into Memorial Day weekend, there are no new fallen combatants to honor. But, so far in 2018, there have been 14 military service members (12 in Iraq and 2 in Afghanistan) who died while deployed overseas fighting in the Global War on Terrorism (GWoT). Please, pray for these fallen and their family and friends in mourning.
We thank all 14 of them for fighting for our freedoms and fighting to liberate the lives of others in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other oppressed countries.
